Progressive rock fans, your ship has come in. Again.

Norwegian Cruise Line in November will host the third annual Cruise to the Edge progressive rock festival at sea featuring more than two dozen bands and artists.

The four-night musical extravaganza on the 2,394-passenger Norwegian Pearl will be led by progressive rock band Yes, which also headlined the first two Cruise to the Edge voyages. Joining them in a top billing is the band Marillion.

Other performers scheduled to play several stages around the ship will be Anathema, Allan Holdsworth, Three Friends, PFM, Saga, Martin Barre, Caravan, Spocks Beard; Nektar and Änglagrd.

Also on tap: Lifesigns, Bigelf, IO Earth, Airbag, Casey McPherson, Messenger, Dave Kerzner, Moon Safari, Barracuda Triangle, Jolly, Enchant, Thank You Scientist, Steve Rothery, Bad Dreams and AHEPJ.

UK journalist and Yes expert Jon Kirkman will host the event.

Kicking off Nov. 15, 2015 in Miami, the sailing will feature stops in Key West, Fla. and Great Stirrup Cay, Norwegian's private island in the Bahamas. Fares start at $575 per person, based on quadruple occupancy per cabin. Cabins for two start at $849 per person.

New this year is a pre-cruise concert in Miami on Nov. 14 with performances by Martin Barre of JethroTull, Three Friends and Lifesigns.
